If a person is having herpes zoster for the first time,can he be infected for second time in his life?

The infection: can be triggered to potentially become symptomatic again in the future.

Shingles recurrence: Once we are infected with VZV - the virus that causes chickenpox and shingles or 'zoster', it is possible to have more than one episode. This is quite rare, because usually an episode of shingles will 'remind' the immune system to keep this virus 'in check' and not let it recur like that. The first episode is bad enough as it is. You can talk to your doc about the zoster vaccine - see an ID doc.
